Default Re: Injury Thread 2008 - 2009 ***SPOILERS***

Well it seems Fabio Da Silva will be out for a bit with a shoulder injury. He is set to have an operation in the coming weeks.

Also, Manucho seems to be having issues recovering from his metatarsal injury. Sir Alex was looking to use him for tomorrow's Carling Cup match against Boro, but can't.

Portions in bold cover this bit of injury news.

Quote:
Sir Alex Ferguson will use Tuesday’s Carling Cup third round tie with Middlesbrough to test some his returning first-team stars and blood several youngsters. But it’s not just experimental – the boss is intent on winning.

Attentions turn to the Carling Cup after Sunday's valuable Premier League point against Chelsea. And Sir Alex is keen to do better than United’s exit at the hands of Coventry City at the same stage of the competition last season.

"My team will involve changes,” he told United Review. "There will be a mix of youth and experience."

"It's important that I give players coming back from injury some pitch time. The likes of Owen Hargreaves, Ji-sung Park, Nani, Anderson and Cristiano Ronaldo all need games and they could be involved either in the starting line-up or on the bench.”

There will also be opportunities for United’s young guns, a host of rising starlets keen to cut their teeth in a competition renowned for giving youth its first chance to shine.

"I also have it in mind to look to youngsters like Jonny Evans, Darron Gibson, Danny Welbeck and Rafael, though unfortunately not his twin brother Fabio, he has a shoulder injury and is having an operation.

"I’m disappointed that Manucho hasn't recovered completely from a metatarsal injury, this would have been a good opportunity to look at him and Welbeck in combination. Nevertheless, my team will add up to a strong side capable of winning."
